Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts says Covid-19 hospitalizations and positivity rates were up last week in the Cornhusker State.
“We are seeing more virus out there in the community, so please continue to use the tools we've given everybody to slow the spread of the virus," Ricketts said.
At his Monday news conference, the Governor said the hospitalization number went up for the first time in 19 weeks, with the positivity rate above five percent for the first time in eight weeks.
"We want to get people vaccinated because ultimately that’s how we get through this pandemic.”
